I have faced the same problem when we migrated from 8i to 9i. Queries that were talking minuts were taking ages to finish in 9i. I even tried setting optimizer_features_enable=8.1.7 but no result. I had a similar problem where 8i was using nested loop and 9i was using hash join, what I did was is just add a hint to USE_NL(tablename) and it did the trick for me.
